Let's hope they don't do to Slicehost what they did to Webmail.us after acquiring them. If they do, you can expect huge increases in prices and a focus more on corporate/"big" clients.


  you can expect huge increases in prices[...]
We cut the prices of our 2GB and larger slice offerings, along with announcing IP failover, and removing the mandatory 3-month prepayment on signup.

[edit]

Oh, and cause we keep forgetting to announce it. If you have private IP addresses on any of your slices, new slices will automatically get built with a private IP.


Yup, congrats. I just subscribed (3 days ago) and I have big hopes from you guys. Keep it up :)

LE: Also, if I may... the tone of the FAQ is a bit corporate. I don't think it's the right approach with your target. Ex:

How does this acquisition affect Slicehost customers

Our number one goal is to continue delivering the Slicehost experience. In fact, we hope to make it even better.

It's a very nice answer, and contains zero information. Just saying :)


Any chance you could double the storage limits for the smaller slices?


We don't have any plans to change the plans right now.


That is good news too! Congrats to you guys, I've been nothing but impressed with slicehost and can't wait to bring you more business!
